Fable E3 2003 Preshow Report

GameSpot has written up a E3 2003 "preshow report" of Big Blue Box's upcoming Xbox RPG, Fable. A snippet:
Fable will feature a real-time combat system, where the character's decisions and actions will again come into play. Not only will your skills in swordsmanship, magic, or stealth figure heavily in battle, but you'll also see character sustain damage and maybe become permanently scarred from a particularly dangerous fight.
